Every women dream to have a happily married life, a caring and loving husband and responsible. A husband who will not hurt the wife physically. When i was young i can see my parents arguing until my father try to shoot my…
We have wealth in our hearts as we love deeply. We have wealth in our ideas and our connections with each other. We have wealth in what we are sharing with each other. We have wealth in how we have empowered ourselves, and…
I have! For most of my life, in fact. I think most people think it’s best (and easiest) to be the youngest in a family, but I beg to differ. It is true that there can be advantages, or perceived advantages. Yes, I was babied…
I am that child, with withered skin and bulging belly And sunken eyes too weak to look at mama I am that child, who’s angry at my papa For coming home empty-handed again I am that child, whose mother cannot look in the eye…
Sometimes I am teased because I have so many dreams and visions. But this is who I am. Setting aside visioning and dream time for me is like drinking water. It nurtures me and keeps my spirit alive. I believe that part of…
Hope is a choice in these trying times. I find hope in every seed that grows to bloom into a mature plant that can produce a stalk, stem or fruit with seeds that can be planted again. I find hope in farmers who continue to…

My name is Esther I didn’t have a grace of being born into a famous and rich family, but got a grace of having a family that raised me in ways that can allow me to be a great woman in the world. After my secondary studies,…
The green card . That was everyone’s dream and scoring one was like winning the lottery, but better. Growing up in rural Kenya 2 ½ hours drive outside Nairobi, we spoke of America in reverent tones. America was generous. She…
So this is Giving Tuesday 2020, called for early because of the crisis we are in. And here within World Pulse and beyond, a call for anyone reading this to think carefully and fully about whether you have some extra money to…
Halloween is always bittersweet for me. My own traditions recognize this time of year as the halfway point between autumn and winter, in many traditions as night grows longer and darkness increases, a time in which we…
My colleagues have written this wonderful blog post, that I would like to share with you. A young Eritrean girl hides behind her mother’s skirt and watches intensely as we show her household how to use the Supertowel. We…
I was wondering the moment I opened my eyes and in search for something. I set my blurry eyes across the window pane where the vivid reflection of the sky was coming through. It was mid – afternoon. I was about to close my…
I opened my eyes and looked at the clock, it's 6:30am. I am still exhausted and want to stay back in bed but I look at my phone and I'm screaming because of the US election results. Not many people believed that Kamala…
World Pulse means everything to me. This is because freedom from violence and suppression of women and girls across this planet means everything to me. For years I have been working in my country to stop the violence, only…
